An Important Message From Our ADEs Staff Profile
This is a time to be proud of the work you do and the people you work with. Afford only continue to provide the amazing services we do, because of you. Our clients could not get through a time like this without your selfless dedication. We foster and promote a Teams and Tribes Culture, where everyone bands together to get the job done. We have all been working together to support each other and we must continue to provide support to our fellow Affordians. We want to recognise those staff that have offered up their shifts to other staff who have had their hours reduced. This is an example of the true Afford Way! We have also seen sites across our business, including our ADEs and Group Homes, open up their doors offering extra hours to staff from across our business. It’s tough times for everyone and now more than ever we need to let our Teams and Tribes mentality shine through, as we are all in this together.

Many of our unsung heroes have taken the opportunity to refresh their sites, painting, styling or making over gardens. It’s the perfect time to think outside the box and many sites are getting clients involved beautifying their sites. They are helping to keep our properties and vehicles looking fabulous! Now more than ever, we need to stay positive and continue to provide our exceptional services and supports, while prioritising the health and mental wellbeing of staff and clients, which remains the top priority at Afford. You are never alone and any Affordian who needs assistance is reminded to reach out to those around you. We encourage you all to contact your Team Leader, District Manager or our CEO, Steven Herald, with any queries or concerns that you have if you are struggling or need support. If you would like confidential support we encourage you to contact AccessEAP on 1800 818 728 or info@accesseap.com.au. We are so proud of all of our Afford Super Heroes!
